Abigail Avery was falsely convicted of the murder of her father and sent to prison when she was only eighteen years old. The supposedly good citizens of Leaky Springs, Mississippi were silent as an innocent young woman was orphaned, accused, swiftly tried and locked away. Her only clue in the travesty of justice is that a bunch of crooked “good ole boys” — headed by the judge who presided at her trial — keep pestering her to sell the family farm.
Now, a decade later, Abigail’s out of prison and heading back to Leaky Springs. It won’t be a pleasant homecoming. She’s out for revenge on the people who stole ten years of her life. Especially the judge.
“Injustice, romance and suspense with great page-turning flair! This is Ballard’s greatest work. Her fragile, yet beautifully big heroine is pushed to the edge with family tragedy, but she’s determined to fight back and avenge the injustice that cost her ten years of her life. Ballard has created a rich romantic-suspense that you cannot put down until it’s finished.”
